Pursuant to these orders Capt. Wilmer issued
his orders last Saturday for the command to
assemble at La Plata at 1890 ysstsr day in full
dress uniform with marching equipments pre-
pared to take the train to proceed to Philadel-
phia. Some time before the hour named the
boys began to assemble eager for the fun and
excitement which they anticipated would result
from the trip. When the roll was called AID
the company formed at the specified hour, 4s
men carrying muskets Unanswered to their names,
and these with our three commissioned officers
and three musicians made q company Of 81
men. This, we are sure, will be the largest
company in the Maryland line, and our boys
should come back covered with more laures
for strength and proficiency. Quite a crowd
assembled at the station to see the company of

Bishop was recommended with the assurance
that she could cut travel any boat on the Poto-

slow that it took from four and half to 6ve
hours to Ike the run. This short ned the

back at an hour considerably later than was
advertised, causing widespread complaint. Be-

fifteen minutes to ten, and this brought the pas

MAYORS Address.

Mayor Macomber was installed in that
Office yesterday for second term and
read his annual address before the City
Council. The address shows that he takes
a deep interest in the affairs OF the city
and is discharging his duty faithfully and
we'll. There has been some reduction of
the debt the past year. The finances ap-
pear to have been well managed. The
Mavor speaks in congratolatory terms of
the building of the new water works and
the introduction of an abundant supply Of
water into the city. His remarks upon
the necessity of improving our streets will
meet the appreciation of all our citizens.
and particularly his recommendation in
relation TO paving Water street. Some
improvement has been made in sewers,
but the offensive odors in some parts of
the city make it manifest that there is a
great work vet to do in regard to sewers
for the comfort. cleanliness and health of
our city. The recommendations ia rela-
ton to the fire department are important,
and what the Mayor says upon temperance
and the enforcement of the liquor law has
the true ring. Mayor Macomber is a
most worthy official. and the new City
Council has in its ranks good number OF
the best men for their places in the city.
We wish them prosperous year in the
administration of city affails.

Retaliation

The Canadians are coming to realize
that the consequences OF their cutrages
upon our fishermen may be of different
character from what they anticipated.
The Canadian press is not so rampant as
before the passage of the reta'iatory bill
BY Congress. and acknowledges that if
President Cleveland employs the power
which it confers upon him, it will be felt
severely in the Dominion. 1t appears that
our neighbors did not suppose that we
could or would attempt to pay them in
kind for their hostile acts. but are begin
ming to change their minds. If President
Cleveland will do his duty there will not
he much trouble with the Canadian breth-
rem, but if he allows the British govern
ment to keep him in leading strings. the
fishery question will be disturbing ele-
ment and perhaps result in bloodshed be-
fore it is disposed Of

Monuments.

There is quite fever in Brooklyn. New
York and some other places for the cree
ton of monuments and statues in honor OF
Henry Ward Beecher, as though these
were necessary to preserve the fame of
the distinguished preacher. Beecher him
self asked for no such aids to keep his
memory alive, but preferred quiet grave
in some pleasant place where the sweet
flowers might bloom above his ashes
Monuments are we'll, but if they are all
that the dead have to keep their
names in existence they might as we'll be
obliterated. Such men as Washington and
Beecher need no monuments to keep alive
their merits. These are craven
upon the hearts of tie people, where
they will be kept and handed down the
ages in more enduring form than though
cut in granite. marble or bronze. The
best monument man can have is the one
he builds for himself in the love and re-
spect of the people.

that while in November. 1885, the ma

clared that the rascals must be turned out,
President Cleveland refuses to enforce the
decree. While one of the rascals remains
in office, while there is a republican in
an Office which is desired by an honest
and competent democrat, the men who
voted for Cleveland and reform have a
right to complain. So far as he has gone
in the removal OF republicans and the ap-
pointment of democrats. he has done we'll,
but he has not gone fast enough nor far
enough. Any array Of figures which
shows republicans occupying places which
democrats have won, will be unsatis-

A Thrifty Summarizing.

There is II millionaire ut Concy Island
who perhaps lives less extensively than
any other person on the island. He is
known rs amiser and %recluse who of late
has been suffering from rheumatism.
He first appeared ut Coney Island two
weeks ago, and rented an attic room in Il
downtown tenement OH Baltic avenue,
arranging for the use of the kitchen stove
for cooking purposes. lie subsists chiefly
on fish caught by himself from the docks
on the t~horoughfarc or from one of the
bridges which spans it. The expense of
hiring u boat he could not be induced to
afford. Every day when the sun is out
he goes to tho beach and takes q long sun
bath i'll the sand, which has proven very
beneficial. He seldom speaks to any one,
not even to the members of the household
in which he resides. A banker, in speak
ing Of him, said: "I have known him
for ten years, and l think his sole thought
is how to make money. The poor men
up in Philadelphia who IRE his tenants,
breathing the heated air laden with ill
favored smells, are happier than he.
Strange to say, he hates men Of means,
caused doubtless by envious feelings
which creep through the portals of his
brains. "-Chicago Herald.

"A sit.hA- kooE IN
These worm and bug invasions are
liable to be in every we'll, and are, more
over, difficult to provide against. The
pests cannot be excluded by an ordinary
wall because the brick or stone cannot be
laid sufficiently close to make it worm
proof. The most effective way of keeping
them out, according to n correspondent in
Rural New Yorker, is to lay the upper
ten feet of the wall in cement, or to back
1t with the same material, as shown in
the illustration. Backing, in this corre-
%spondcnt's opinion, is the safer and better
plan. AS the wall is being built it is set
i'll an inch from the sides of the well, and
the space between them is carefully filled
with cement. If this is well done, the
wall will be absolutely worm and bug
proof.
The finishing of the top is an important
matter. 1t should he laid perfectly even
and smooth, and covered with Il close fit
ting platform of two inch plank. Near
each end of this platform n two by four
scantling is fastened, upon which q second
platform of two inch plank is spiked.
This is designed to shelter the lower plat
form from tho sun, and thereby prevent it
from shrinking, warping or splitting. 1t
makes n perfectly safe platform, and
that will cffectually prevent oil kinds of
bugs, worms and vermin from entering
the we'll at the top.
Old wells, says the authority quoted
from, may readily be rendered worm proof
by having ten feet of the well taken out
and backed with cement as relaid.

Fashion Notes.

Bows of picot ribbon, either broad or mar
row, striped or plain, having in their center
either n tuft of feathers the same color, or
else contrasting heron's feathers, are pretty
both for head dress or hat trimming.
Embroidered emblems are a favorite orna.
ment for sporting t%oilettes and children's
dresses, and are even Worn on hats and caps.
Sometimes they a k the form of gold or
silver embroidered stars, half moons, heraldic
lions, or aSain colored butterflies. shuttlecocks,
rackets, velocipedes, tiny yachts and flags are
alike embroidered in silk, according to the
wearer's whim and taste.
Felt and beaver bonnets and round hats, it
is said, will be fashionable again this fall.
Quite a boom has been given to gautalincs,
both i'll gold and silver, this summer as these
have been much used Mt fashionable resorts
for lawn tennis prizes. 1t naturally follows
TINT some of the newer gautalines show de-
signs borrowed from out door sports, such
as tennis, racket and the like.

Shoes a Ia Rirhelieu, Paysannc, etc, are per-
Missile only with elegant summer toilettes,
while fine half high kid shoes with low square
heels and laced i'll front. or buttoned boots
of kid or cashmere galosled with kid, are in
best taste with n walking costume. Charm
ing slippers i'll satin, silk or cashmere, en-
broidcred with gold or silver thread, are worn
with the elegant dressing gowns and matinees
described today. Bronze kid slippers, cut
out in bars in front and ornamented with

suitable for those young ladies who like to
have dainty shoes for the house.

On the Country Road.

\ Saratoga, n. v, farmer reports that
he keeps rows from pulling the corn
by scattering Il few quarts over the field
for them to pick up, and repeating it if
necessary. Tho crows eat enough grubs
and cut worms to pay for the corn.
Five hundred and siXty-tivc acres of
corn have been engaged of the .Andros-
coggin county, Me, farmers by the two
Auburn corn canning factories.
Prof. Robertson, of Canada, claims that
cream raised by the deep cold process pro-
duces a butter that is less highly favored
when first made, and is, in fact, often in
sipid at that time, but its flavor increases
with age, and is ut its best when several
weeks old.
New England farmers attribute the
lying in hot house anurc. 1t is II rhcu-
matte trouble which may be cured by
active and continued rubbing. 1t may
also be cured by exercise and fresh air.
Tho farmers of Texas, Arkansas ani
Louisiana propose building cotton, cotton
seed oil and flour mills at different ccntcrs
in those states, the farmers to OWL said
mills in common.
Potato growers in California are clatcd
over the success Of the plan of shipping
potatoes to Chicago.
1t is said that the government still
owns 80, 900. 600 acres Of unsurveycd land
in Nevada.
%Pyrethrum is not poisonous to vcrtc-
brate animals, but n little of the dust

Rural New Yorker recommends buhach
or pyrethrum, in water, one tablespoonful
to two gallons, us an excellent wash to
keep flies from worrying work horses.
The freshest eggs are heaviest. Placed
i'll u pan of water they sink; older riggs
partly sink, and stale ones float on the top.
Raw onions, chopped fine and mixed
with the food twice u week, IRE said to be
a preventive of chicken cholera.
The cultivation of the bamboo for
fencing material has been begun in Cali
fornia. 1t is said that al acre will pro-
duce pickcts enough each year to make
six miles of fence.
The establishment of mills by the South
ern Cotton Oil company is an assured fact;
they are now erecting eight mills between
